RE: Day 11 & 12 of 18 University Freshers Tour - Southampton & Portsmouth University
Great job, looks like you're having a fantastic time! I'm sure all those people will remember Steemit and hopefully many will also check it out and become users of the site. What is the reaction you generally get? Do people really believe what you're telling them or are they sceptical?
My method is to tell them that I am doing a blog about the university and ask if they would be in a photo with me, but that i am funding the tour using steemit, so they should point to the steemit logo on my t-shirt. I then give them a business card with a link to my blog so that they can find their photo and see how much money their pics raised. most are happy to do this. about 40% then become interested in what steemit is and about 20% are skeptical, but i explain about how traditional social media is extorting their information and making money of of them, which is returned to the users in steemit. This reduces most people's skepticism
That's a really well thought out way to approach it
